(Cricket news) The much-predicted series will mark Australia’s return to English soil for Ashes, in Tests, after enjoying a great win at the Oval against India and lifting up the World Test Championship Trophy. Sony Sports Network will exclusively showcase the nail-biting clash between the two giants on Sony Sports Ten 5 channels.
Fresh off their historic triumph in the ICC World Test Championship final, Australia will arrive at Edgbaston, brimming with confidence and eager to consolidate their Ashes dominance. The forthcoming series will witness some of the cricketing world’s finest talents take centre stage.
Spearheaded by the marvellous Pat Cummins, Australia’s bowling attack will aim to clatter the English batters. Accompanying Cummins will be the seasoned Steve Smith, an esteemed batsman known for his remarkable ability to collate big runs. The young and dynamic Marnus Labuschagne will also be a key figure in Australia’s quest for victory and will be taking their form to England for the great battle of Ashes.
Seventeen months on from their recent winless tour of Australia, England will start off their quest to recoup the Ashes for the first time since 2017. Under the stewardship of head coach Brendon McCullum, the hosts will plan to unshackle their aggressive brand of cricket. Ben Stokes, England’s captain and one of the world’s top all-rounders, will lead the charge alongside plentiful batter Joe Root and the hard-hitting Jonny Bairstow.
Both teams have demonstrated stellar performances in recent times under their respective coaches. Australia, led by Andrew McDonald, has succeeded in an impressive 11 out of 16 Test matches. England, under Brendon McCullum has emerged victorious in 11 of their last 13 Test matches.
With a battle of this enormity on the horizon, cricket enthusiasts can expect a closely fought contest between two cricketing powerhouses. While WTC Champions Australia enter the series as favourites, England, powered by their new style of play, is determined to make a resounding statement on their home soil.
